Thanks for the reply, thought I was missing something, seemingly not so good to have that confirmed by someone knowledgeable. Supposedly one of the most popular companies in the city. Does kind of leave a sour note and reluctant give my business to them. I like things straightforward. Might...

Hi, I'm not usually into getting plans for big home items, but considering it with a new boiler installation, but can't figure out something. Some made up numbers for ease. Option 1 ; annual boiler service £70 paid one off yearly. Option 2 ; Boiler plan £140 year. Includes service, 0 excess...

posted in error sorry

Thanks for reply, will do.

hello I have a WB 35cdi ii. I'm familiar with repressurizing etc and done the usual interwebs looking up to try to understand/resolve, but can't find this. The boiler is say at .5 pressure and works ok. I repressurize it to 1 bar (as recommended in the manual) for good normal working and over...

This is a new brand to me, not able to find many reviews so asking here if anyone has experience with these and are they decent quality taps on a par with other well known brands? Thanks

Thanks for this post and others that followed it with clues on how to fix the Container Full (when it wasn't) error and causing washing to only partly dry. Cleaned all the bits as suggested in manual, with no solution. Found this 'secret panel flap' post and with a fair amount of patience...

Thanks for responses. Yes it splashes regardless of how much it is turned on. Will try to take a couple of photos. This is not the tap I have but the business end is almost identical, with the small bulbous part towards the end...

I have a kitchen tap one of those tall U shaped ones. Problem is it splashes badly. It was in place when I bought my new home. The kitchen is an Ikea one. The tap doesn't seem to have any way to attach an aerator which I understand would probably fix the problem, no thread inside or outside...

Hi I have bought a house where the wooden worktops have been pretty neglected. It is an Ikea kitchen so suppose it is the typical Ikea solid birch? worktops. They are generally in good shape (no chips or physical damage) but they have not been oiled for a long time and there is that dark...

Hello I just have a photo for now, cannot provide serial numbers or anything at present, but wondering if anyone can identify this boiler from a small snapshot. I think it is a Vaillant VC or VCW. Anyone know? Can't find users guide online for either (only installation manual). Thanks

I'm getting second thoughts now about the danish oil. But if I do do the danish oil and then it gets spoiled then what are my options for redoing it and putting a varathane type coating on it? I don't want it repainted. Ive got to a lot of trouble to get the ancient paint and crap off the...

I thought not but thanks for confirming.

Thanks for replies. Since I've got some danish oil I'm going to trial that on a spare bit of pine and then see how well it stands up. One thing I'm not sure of. If I put a couple of coats of danish oil on, can I then put a coat of varnish on top to finish? Other thing is, I've seen...

Hello I have sanded down a previously painted old pine table top to bare wood. I want to use this as a dining table for everyday use. I want to have a table that I will be able to put cups of tea, glass of wine and dinner plates on without it spoiling the surface. So somewhat heat...

Thanks for replies. I'll look into the WB repair deal never heard of that before. I may make sense on my old boiler who knows. Not sure what 30 warrany refers to? Be helpful if someone could give a heads up on the price I've been quoted. I know things vary with each installation but a...

I've got a Worcester Bosch 35CDi which was in the house before I bought it so figuring the boiler is 14+ years old. Has been regularly serviced. Every year it seems there is a problem of some sort which has been fixed without a huge bill (pressure switch twice, and the compression chamber...

Thanks for replies, both useful. No, nobody was trying to flog me anything, I have the Thompsons in the shed, I think people were just trying to help. I see what you mean about leaving well alone, you are probably right, though with a 100+ year old house it is always tempting to go for the...

Recently my gutter got blocked up (unnoticed birds nest) and during a heavy 24 hour rainstorm it completed blocked and water ran down the corner of the house down the wall. Damp patches were visible on downstairs hallway wall on corner of house. I have got the blocked sorted and that is ok. I...

Ah, cheers for that clarification. I thought as much, I was probably just hoping for a lazy option :oops: Now I just have to find something big enough to mix all that micafil up in. Thanks again.
